It's advisable to be aware of these common issues and work it out so you can have a stronger bond with your partner.

Inspired by All Women's talk, here are a few ways these relationship problems can be identified and avoided:

1. Not spending enough time with your partner: Couples
get busy with life most times that they don't meet each other's
emotional need well enough. To avoid this couples should always try to
plan time and clear out every schedule to spend quality time together.

2. Careless spending: At
times two people who love each other may have different opinions on how
money gotten should be spent. A problem could arise if funds are
thoroughly mismanaged by one partner. To avoid this a spending plan
should always be mapped out and agreed upon by both parties.

3. Unresolved problems:
Most couples have one or two problems between them which will be left
unresolved because both cannot reach a compromise. These could lead to a
bigger because it keeps coming up every now and then. To avoid this
couples should learn to agree to disagree which means reaching a common
ground.

4. Communication:
It's one of the most common relationship dangers. Conflicts are bound
to arise between couples. Good communication prevents it from
escalating. To avoid this issue, one partner should be calm when the
other is angry.

5. Not liking a family member in your partner's family: It
could be your partner's mother, sibling or friend. It's understandable
if you can't help it but all you need to remember that your relationship
is just between you and your partner. You shouldn't try to let your
dislike get in the way of the love you both share.
